Cellucotoon (Rayon) wicks

[tnt56]

You forgot to write down the symptoms. Did you cough, choke on the vapor or what was it?!

I was having some pretty severe COPD exacerbation attacks. Started having to use my breathing treatments again.
I hadn't used em in a long time. After I swapped over to the rayon, my COPD flaired up like a big dog.

Thats too bad. Luckily didnt happen something worse! Now its time to sell the stuff on ebay europe or you can use it at home for beauty care

I have to compare it with organic cotton with same juice at same resistance to get an objective result! Will post my conclusion in a week or so

Keep on

This stuff is better than anything I've tried on my Vivi Nova tanks.
It works GREAT! and..
I paid $11.99 + tax for a 500 foot roll..... (lifetime supply)

The price of organic cotton
Is too damn high!

I had to remove all the cellucotton from my reos yesterday morning, as I was getting a horrible sore throat with it, and asthma symptoms, no other changes in juice or coils. To make sure it is not a fluke or allergies, I am going to wait till the sore throat is completely gone and try it again.

I'm not pretty enough for beauty care. That's why I wear a Helmont Lol. Darn spell check. Lol

I get that if I don't keep up with the squonking. It is real easy to let the rayon get a little bit dry; then the vapor gets to be more like real smoke.

I have been squonkin for almost 3 years so got that down pat.....I have not given up on trying the cellucotton again, but got to wait till the current symptoms goes away completely.

Some of you having throat problems may want to consider increasing the diameter of your coils. I went up to a 5/64" drill bit and have a much juicier vape. I think the rayon wicks better but does not "hold" as much juice in its structure. Thinner wicks have a tougher time keeping up.

I currently am using a 1/16 diameter coils with 28g 8 wraps, I am not sure how much bigger 5/64 would be, but I do know the current coils are my fav and pretty much what I have been vaping for over a year on....

I use micro coils in all my RDAs, but it's been suggested that rayon might be better in a larger diameter coil - say 2mm. I have yet to try it in my Reos, but I do find that, unlike most people with rayon, I manage to gunk up my wicks pretty well. Larger diameter coils might work better here.

 

[tnt56]

Ok I'm confused. I'm hearing that those of us who squonk, should change everything we've been using just so the Rayon is so great. I beg to differ. Why would I want to change something that works perfect every time,, so I can try something that doesn't.

OK, I have to ask, what the hell is "squonk"?

Botton feeding devices such as REO's have a bottle with liquid that feeds the juice to the wick when the bottle is squeezed. The squeezing action of the bottle is called "squonking".

Ah, Thank You!

I've been using rayon in my RM2 and my Cyclone for about six weeks now. I use the RM2 with single coils at around 0.5 ohms and the Cyclone with dual coils at around 0.4 ohms.

I make contact coils on a 2mm (0.08", or 5/64") diameter screw driver, so a bit bigger than regular micro coils at 1.5mm max. I found with cotton the extra diameter helps me avoid dry hits at 25 - 35 watts so I just continued doing that with rayon.

A few days ago I tried organic cotton in the Cyclone again just to see the difference now that I've been using rayon for a while. I went back to rayon after a day. The organic cotton just didn't wick fast enough for me to continue to use it.

PBusardo did a review of hemp, Japanese cotton, organic cotton and rayon and found the organic cotton was the slowest in wicking. Koh Gen Do (Japanese cotton) just about tied with rayon for him if I remember correctly. I have not tried KGD myself, so I have no opinion on it, but from PBusardo's review it's right up there with rayon.

Actually, two of the three tests showed KGD to won the fastest wicking of 100% VG. CelluCotton came in 2nd place. I think CC won one of the 3 tests.

Yup, I believe KGD is good stuff. AFAIK super_X_drifter is sticking with it and that means a lot to me , but rayon is working well for me and I'm happy with it for now. I do hope there are no health risks with it that might come to light down the road, but the same thing could happen with any other wick material we now use.

The great thing is we have alternatives and we can decide for ourselves what to use. Works for me

KGD seems best to me, I like working with the pads more and I feel better knowing some japanese farmer probably cares about the quality of it. (at least I hope so)

I'm picturing a old man out in the fields pruning each bush with nippers just like a bonsai tree

(Reality its probably his 6 & 8 y old sons flinging animal poo on the fields like its a game)

I agree the KGD pads make it easy to get a perfect sized wick and I get uniform results over and over. I will be trying the CC again but if there is a hint of anything wrong with my body then I am done with it, I know I feel better about the KGD and it's origin. The CC works amazing for taking off nail polish much better than the regular cotton balls I normally use so even if I don't use it for wicks it will not go to waste
